My first time at this venue and on arrival I got a good feeling. Everything was exceptional and I told more than one member of staff. I heard other guests doing the same. It is rare these days to experience this level of service & attention to detail in the UK. I am truly looking forward to going back in November. a five star venue.

Avoid!

Hotel is very tired. Bedrooms definitely in need of a refurb! Evening meal was awful. Avoid the salmon obviously all microwaved. I expect more from a hotel especially at £230 for bed, breakfast and evening meal on a Tuesday. Your local Wetherspoons will offer better quality food. We gave breakfast a miss and opted for a McMuffin down the road. A coach arrived when we were there so and assuming it’s a hotel used for coach breaks to Cheltenham or the Cotswolds. In all honest I would recommend you avoid. We will not be returning.

The hotel and staff were fabulous. The food was delicious and our room couldn’t have been cleaner, but we were above the foyer toilet and had to endure every flush, hand wash and hand dryer - which got annoying. We’d definitely stay again but would ensure it was in a different room.
